Someone please tell me how this is not ridiculously unsafe: A pretty neat concept bike, the Suzuki NUDA01, from 1986:

No loving way you'll make me work for 3 hours to replace a spark plug. And yeah, the first bike pictured looks perfectly safe. I spot a rear brake, so it's safe.

No loving way you'll make me work for 3 hours to replace a spark plug. I was thinking more along the lines of it looking like it could be a concept for an electric motorcycle. It's 24 years old, yet it still looks like something from a science fiction movie.

BlackMK4 posted:I have to wonder why he wants to keep wasting money. I've always thought the guys who were seeing daylight under both tires were making it look easy. It seems like a great way to make a BIG mistake, but they always do it so smoothly. I've seen guys on IOM who approach a crest leaning one way, transition in midair and land leaning the other direction. That video proves how tricky it really is. Good job for the guy recovering, though.

There were a few guys over at the WERA forums who ran the TT this year... these weren't them but they were a couple of good posts worth reposting.quote:I said this one of the last days there... quote:I remember going over that in 2009 and smacking my steering stops so hard I heard them clank three times.

I am in Canada and I am desperately hoping it will get over here soon. lastly am I the only one who is reading way too much into that commercial? You see a guy pull into a garage late at night riding ducati and wearing full leathers, you know he had a good night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVXc29ZgutI I am sure it has been posted before but here is a lap around the IOM with Guy Martin commenting

I like the Bombardier Spyders, especially from the perspective of getting disabled people on a bike of some sort, but they've really been cheesing them out lately. They need to make a lean, trimmed down one with a single headlight.

I have the '11 Spyder RSS that's pretty lean. It has double halogen lamps but they're tiny. I really love the way it looks and rides. I still have a dirt bike and road bike but I ride the RSS the most because it's the most fun. Everyone I come across loves it and asks me a million questions. The only negative feedback I got was here in CA. I don't have a physical disability but I'm recovering from a pretty bad back injury that will probably give me chronic pain for the rest of my life but the RSS allows me to ride everyday.

The '3D' didn't really add much, for me anyway. So I wouldn't worry about trying to get to see it in 3D. Hopefully it gets a good DVD/Bluray release soon. It's basically "Guy Martin: The Movie 3D" though. Not all that much else from the other riders really, except maybe Connor Cummins' crash

They are glorious. The reason they focused on Guy Martin I think is because he is the underdog right now, not won anything but keeps picking himself up and trying over and over. A humble upbringing with a current humble and funny atitude makes most people relate to him. Nice chap and highly marketable. Also it helps that most of the over riders were dry as a desert in front of a camera. Most remind me of footballers/soccer stars when interviewed and say ' ...at the end of the day' a bit to much.
